Nida is quiet and dutiful. He tends to blend into a crowd if he has no reason to act or speak. Despite this passive nature, he is highly skilled, capable of overcoming many seemingly stronger opponents, and learning to pilot the Garden.

Nida is one of the candidates during the Siege of Dollet that was chosen as the SeeD exam, possibly operating in the squad bunkered in the Dollet streets. During the SeeD award ceremony conducted by Headmaster Cid Nida stands alongside Squall, Zell and Selphie to receive his honorary SeeD ranking for passing the exam and completing his training. His dream was to one day become the ruler of Garden.

During the Garden riot Nida defends the Infirmary. When Squall doesn't recognize him, he's upset about having to remind him that they graduated together. When SorceressEdea makes her bid for power Balamb Garden becomes mobile and crashes into Fishermans Horizon. Nida volunteers to be trained by the FH technicians on how to pilot the unusual vessel, and becomes the Garden's chief navigational officer. As pilot Nida stands alongside Xu, Quistis Trepe, and Squall Leonhart in overseeing the daily activity of the Garden and the students there-in.

The player may choose to not help Nida during the Garden riot. Unlike other encounters, he will win the ensuing battle without Squall's help, though Dr. Kadowaki will scold Squall for not helping, and the player will not receive an item they would have otherwise.
